Summer Internships

Each summer, we offer internships, usually focusing on a specific issue or project, with a team of students from different colleges. (Some of our regular internships, such as Communication or Act for Change, may also be possible in the summer ).

The focus for 2019 includes two projects for small teams. (Be sure to read general information below.)

Climate Action Planning – developing specific proposals for a climate action plan for a city or county in the Lehigh Valley, possibly one of the efforts already under way.

Team members meet with selected community members, research what’s been done elsewhere, and work as a team to review progress, plan next steps, and coordinate independent work and team projects. In addition, each intern is expected to do reading and research independently, with the internship coordinator or other staff available to answer questions or provide assistance.

Use of Excel (or a similar program) to develop complex spreadsheets designed to analyze findings

Qualifications: Strong desire to improve policy & education with regard to climate, public health, social justice, and other facets of sustainability; strong written and oral communication skills; attention to detail; ability to work well independently & as part of a team.
